I know, awful names, right? Didymozoids (pronounced like P-Diddy) are a family of parasitic flatworms in the digenean (“fluke”) group. Most digeneans live in the gut, but didymozoids have invaded the flesh. That’s not what makes this worm special, though, there are lots of worms that live in flesh. No, its the length of N. histoidii that sets it apart. In the best paper on the subject Glenn Noble (1975) describes finding them up to 12 meters long! That’s a 40 foot worm, as Noble says “snaking” its way through the tissues, leaving a trail of eggs in its wake. Chances are, N. histoidii may even grow larger than that. Scientists don’t know, partly because dissections of Mola aren’t all that common and partly because dissecting an entire sunfish to extract the fragile, threadlike worm in one piece is practically impossible. https://themarinedetective.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/natasha-dickinson_pa200024.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAhttps://themarinedetective.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/natasha-dickinson_pa200021.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAhttps://themarinedetective.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/mola-mola-ovary-natasha-dickinson-200053.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAHer single ovary.

Feel free to share! Whale on right is Tsitika (A30). She is 65 years old. She loves Chinook salmon and is always within calling range of her sons, daughters and grand-calves. Most often, as is the case here, she is right beside her eldest surviving son, Blackney (A38) who is 42. Tsitka has lived through the human impacts of being shot at when that was our way; our use of toxins that bioaccumulate in the flesh of her kind reducing their immunity and ability to reproduce; our practices that have reduced the availability of salmon and . . . the noise! The next assault – turbines in the very area where her family most often fishes? The same area that is the namesake of her son i.e. “Blackney Pass” and where this photo was taken? The area that is designated as critical habitat for her population?https://themarinedetective.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/tidal-proposal-002.jpgtidal proposal.002Source: Application by for OCEAN ENERGY/INVESTIGATIVE AND MONITORING by SRM Projects Ltd of Nanaimo, B.C.

It’s not about saving something outside ourselves . . . whales, wetlands, trees, fish. It’s about choices that benefit ourselves and future generations, providing the greatest chances for health and happiness. It’s about children. That's what all these photos and words are about here on "The Marine Detective" folks. Inspiration. Connection. Understanding our capacity for positive change. Caring More. Consuming Less. Voting for the future. And, knowing our place IN the environment. ©2015 Jackie Hildering; #OceanVoice; www.TheMarineDetective.ca https://themarinedetective.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/new-year-greetings-and-reflections-005.jpgNew Year Greetings and reflections.005Yes, I'm going there. It is a critical time of decision-making. Those that have the power now use fear as a blunt tool to perpetuate false dichotomies like jobs vs. the environment / social problems vs. environmental problems. "Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth . . . these are one and the same fight . . . Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all." What a wonderful world it would be if more would connect the dots between climate change, global health, food security, sustainable employment, children’s safety, and gender equality*. We have tremendous potential for positive change when fear is replaced with knowledge and empowerment. It is an essential time to reach out - reducing fear; connecting the dots; creating positive change. ©2015 Jackie Hildering; #OceanVoice; www.TheMarineDetective.ca https://themarinedetective.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/new-year-greetings-and-reflections-004.jpgNew Year Greetings and reflections.004When the Ocean erupts, revealing one of her giants (Ripple the female Humpback Whale breaching; BCX1063). It's an opportunity to be awash in wonder, humility, connection, and gratitude. We all depend on the Ocean and where we go from here depends upon knowing while we are so small, our value systems and daily actions have such big impacts. How we consume; how we vote; how much we recognize our great capacity for positive change and how fear of change limits this . . . it's enough to bring giants back from the brink AND increase human happiness. ©2015 Jackie Hildering; #OceanVoice; www.TheMarineDetective.ca https://themarinedetective.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/new-year-greetings-and-reflections-003.jpgNew Year Greetings and reflections.003Vitamin O. Where are you as you read this? Are you far from the Ocean's shore or feeling her waves below your feet? It doesn't matter. We are ALL part Ocean from the oxygen in our lungs (50%+); to the fluid in our veins; and many of the nutrients that build us. Our connection to the Ocean is the great common denominator of life on this blue planet. Healing, climate regulating, carbon dioxide buffering . . . life sustaining. Share the Vitamin, especially to our friends further inland? Increased awareness of the importance of the Ocean and celebrating our connection to it . . . why, it could change the world. Acknowledging how little we know, inspired by the mystery and beauty; embracing the appropriate humility and precaution in our daily actions . . . caring more, consuming less, voting for the future . . . . knowing the vital importance of Vitamin O. ©2015 Jackie Hildering; #OceanVoice; www.TheMarineDetective.ca https://themarinedetective.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/new-year-greetings-and-reflections-002.jpgNew Year Greetings and reflections.002Fear . . . such a limiting factor to positive change. A lesson learned from Killer Whales - how wrong we can be but how quickly we can change when fear and misunderstanding are replaced by knowledge and connection. Yes, fear sometimes saves lives but too often: Fear masks truth. Fear chokes potential. Fear makes us automatons, marching on, ignoring the reality around us. Fear walks hand-in-hand with disempowerment, the same neurons firing, limiting the way we look at the world and ourselves. And above all, FEAR LOATHES CHANGE. Thereby, fear is such a powerful tool to be used by those who benefit from things remaining the same. #OceanVoice - thoughts about hope, our connection to the environment, and positive action for the sake of greater health and happiness. ©2015 Jackie Hildering; #OceanVoice; www.TheMarineDetective.ca https://themarinedetective.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/new-year-greetings-and-reflections-001.jpgNew Year Greetings and reflections.001Vote as if you can feel the warmth of your grandchild's hand in yours.

Jared Towers, in his role with DFO, is the authority in BC on mammal-eating killer whales and it is he who immediately recognized that these individuals have not been previously identified and who will assign identification names for them.
